It's often said that female students studying abroad let loose more than their male counterparts!
Wang Ye was indeed handsome and his status as a "Russian Chinese" made him extremely appealing to the two girls.
There were certainly plenty of handsome Russians, but Chinese female students studying abroad generally didn't seek out Russian boyfriends.
In China, girls were typically fawned over by boys but Russian men didn't share this "hobby," and were typically patriarchal instead.
Hence, female students studying abroad found this hard to bear and dared not pursue Russian boyfriends.
Conversely, male students studying abroad had a liking for Russian girlfriends. They were not only beautiful and well-shaped but also had great personalities.
The main reason why the two girls took an interest in Wang Ye was his "Chinese" identity, coupled with the fact that his Mandarin was incredibly fluent, making him far superior to pure Russians.
